-| The part mask maps out the physical space the CAS part takes place in and is used by the game to map out how different outfit textures parts overlap. For example, it keeps knee-high boots textures from overlapping pants textures. In general, you won't have to change this unless you're doing some extreme retexturing such as turning pants into shorts.

 | Face overlays are the equivalent of base textures for the face. These are used to make anything that deals with the face like: custom face masks, makeup, eyebrows, etc.
 * When dealing with face overlays, instead of assigning pattern colors, you give each part a '''tint color'''. To change the color either double-click on the little colored squares at the bottom of the textures window, or right-click on the tint key and hit edit color.

 Design Type allows you to change between 3 Channel RGB, 4 channel RGBA and Tintable Overlay.
 <blockquote>
 * Switching to 4 Channel RGBA allows you to successfully enable pattern D (the fourth Pattern region).
-* Toggling to 3 Channel RGB automatically disables pattern D
 * Tintable Overlays are used for face masks and makeup.</blockquote>

 ====Bump Map====
-The bump map is an alpha layered DDS file that is used to simulate bumps and grooves on the mesh. Bump maps can be grayed out to produce a flat map, which is more useful for universal use, or they can be completely mapped out for your design.</blockquote></blockquote>
